GithuBoard

This is a prototype of a web app that gives you the ability to customize your
GitHub News Feed by setting up various filters and rules. As a user you are
able to set global and per project filters. For instance you might want to hide
all the wiki edit events or maybe display only tag creation events for a given
project etc. You get the idea.

Why?

Because even though I don't follow many people and watch many projects I tend to
miss a lot of important information. I want to be up-to-date with what's going
on in the OSS world that I'm watching but Github News Feed shows me way too much
stuff I don't want to see. I also want to have certain information highlighted
in some way or be notified about them so I can be sure I won't miss anything.
That's really it.

Status and plans

In the beginning I want to create basic functionality that is focused on
filtering the events. However, that's not everything - I got lots of ideas
about possible new features that might be quite useful to the developers using
Github every day. I started by doing a simple prototype just to show it to some
people and get an initial feedback so I can become confident that the thing
really makes sense :)

First release will include following features:

Signing up with Github account

Setting global filter rules

Setting filter rules per project that you're watching

Atom feed of your customized news feed

Then we will see!

The only caveat is that you need to provide your private news feed url as it's
something Gitub's API doesn't provide (yet?).
